This patch provides support for reporting the presence of SVE2 and
its optional features to userspace.
This will also enable visibility of SVE2 for guests, when KVM
support for SVE-enabled guests is available.

ARMv8.5 builds upon the ARMv8.2 DC CVAP instruction by introducing a DC
CVADP instruction which cleans the data cache to the point of deep
persistence. Let's expose this support via the arm64 ELF hwcaps.

As we will exhaust the first 32 bits of AT_HWCAP let's start
exposing AT_HWCAP2 to userspace to give us up to 64 caps.
Whilst it's possible to use the remaining 32 bits of AT_HWCAP, we
prefer to expand into AT_HWCAP2 in order to provide a consistent
view to userspace between ILP32 and LP64. However internal to the
kernel we prefer to continue to use the full space of elf_hwcap.
To reduce complexity and allow for future expansion, we now
represent hwcaps in the kernel as ordinals and use a
KERNEL_HWCAP_ prefix. This allows us to support automatic feature
based module loading for all our hwcaps.
We introduce cpu_set_feature to set hwcaps which complements the
existing cpu_have_feature helper. These helpers allow us to clean
up existing direct uses of elf_hwcap and reduce any future effort
required to move beyond 64 caps.
For convenience we also introduce cpu_{have,set}_named_feature which
makes use of the cpu_feature macro to allow providing a hwcap name
without a {KERNEL_}HWCAP_ prefix.

Expose the new features introduced by Arm v8.4 extensions to
Arm v8-A profile.
These include :
1) Data indpendent timing of instructions. (DIT, exposed as HWCAP_DIT)
2) Unaligned atomic instructions and Single-copy atomicity of loads
and stores. (AT, expose as HWCAP_USCAT)
3) LDAPR and STLR instructions with immediate offsets (extension to
LRCPC, exposed as HWCAP_ILRCPC)
4) Flag manipulation instructions (TS, exposed as HWCAP_FLAGM).

ARM v8.4 extensions add new neon instructions for performing a
multiplication of each FP16 element of one vector with the corresponding
FP16 element of a second vector, and to add or subtract this without an
intermediate rounding to the corresponding FP32 element in a third vector.
This patch detects this feature and let the userspace know about it via a
HWCAP bit and MRS emulation.

This patch enables detection of hardware SVE support via the
cpufeatures framework, and reports its presence to the kernel and
userspace via the new ARM64_SVE cpucap and HWCAP_SVE hwcap
respectively.
Userspace can also detect SVE using ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, using the
cpufeatures MRS emulation.
When running on hardware that supports SVE, this enables runtime
kernel support for SVE, and allows user tasks to execute SVE
instructions and make of the of the SVE-specific user/kernel
interface extensions implemented by this series.

We don't document our ELF hwcaps, leaving developers to interpret them
according to hearsay, guesswork, or (in exceptional cases) inspection of
the current kernel code.
This is less than optimal, and it would be far better if we had some
definitive description of each of the ELF hwcaps that developers could
refer to.
This patch adds a document describing the (native) arm64 ELF hwcaps.
